In case you haven’t been following the social media blitz, Team Humber won GOLD at the Culinary Olympics last week!

This is a huge international competition with over 2000 Chefs from over 50 countries that gather every 4 years (yes, just like the sporting Olympics) in Erfurt, Germany to compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals.

The weeks, months, even years of practice, planning and preparation take an incredible amount of dedication and focus. This team’s commitment to excellence is outstanding and we thrilled that this has now been internationally recognized.

If you have had the opportunity to taste the food prepared by this gold medal team at some of their fundraisers – surely you would agree it was some of the best food you have ever tasted! This is a team of extremely talented Chefs and we are so fortunate to have them share their craft as our Faculty and Alumni.

Please join us in congratulating our team:
